Press: Baillie for Bickel

For 28 years Karl August Bickel
has been gathering and selling news, for twelve of those years as the
able, ubiquitous president of United Press. Newsgathering is a tough
job and Karl Bickel was determined not to die in harness. Said he once:
"This is a young man's business. No man over 50 has the right to be the
active head of a press association." Last year he began to ail and last
week, at the age of 53, he resigned the U. P.'s presidency.
